Big Walker Mountain

Way up on Walker Mountain, boys, there’s a man who’s got a still Better bring your shiny nickels if you wanna get your fill Don’t try to play him for a fool; he don’t care who you are You’ll pay before you take a drink or you won’t have none at all Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Though you know you may never leave Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Let the moonshine bring you to your knees They tell the tale of the hunters who once stumbled on that site They drank up every jug around and threw away their lives Old Man Walker found them there passed out on the floor He didn’t bother takin’ names, just shot his forty-four Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Though you know you may never leave Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Let the moonshine bring you to your knees I’m goin’ on up to the mountaintop to have me a little taste And if I find that magic still my life will go to waste Cause once you start it’s impossible to get back in control Your life don’t mean a damn no more when the liquor takes its hold Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Yes, I know I may never leave Take me in, Big Walker Mountain Let the moonshine bring me to my knees
